System parameter to set a folder for users to share information
With more than one user (either users on a network or users with different profiles on the same computer) it is often useful to co-ordinate processes where a sequential number is used. For example when naming optimised runs, orders, offcuts, tracking parts etc.
- Enter the full path where the shared control files are stored
(For example: n:\server\v12\SharedData)
Make sure all users have read/write access to this path.
Parameter options that may use shared control files are;-
Last sequential run number (system parameters - Rules 1)
Last quote estimate number (system parameters - Rules 1)
Last saw group number (system parameters - Rules 1)
Last offcut number (system parameters - Rules 2)
Last part item tracking number (system parameters - Rules 2)
Last drawing number (machining centre parameters - Generation)
If this parameter is set the shared parameters are locked (greyed out) on the parameter pages and the numbering is controlled by the program, for example:-
Click on the 'more' button to edit the numbers (See Help topic:
Edit control file numbers)
Notes
- This option replaces the SHARE method used in previous versions
